Custom Permalink Stopped Working

    For years, I’ve had the permalinks on my http://www.living-streams.co.uk website set custom to /%category%/%postname%/ and it worked fine.

    Today it stopped working and all page and post links returned the 404 error message. All of the standard permalink settings seem to work and the custom one works with just /%postname%/.

    I’ve had the site checked out by the hosts (Hostgator) and they can see nothing wrong.

    Is this a common problem which I’ve got to wait to be fixed in a later version of WordPress or doesn’t anyone know a solution?

    I think it would be super if you added a note to that affect to the install process! Just because the solution is easy, doesn’t mean that figuring out what the solution is, is also easy. It’s also easy to make boiled eggs that slip out of the shell easily. So why is it that so many people can’t do it?

    FOUND A SOLUTION
    In this particular situation, the problem was indeed a plugin incompatibility. The problem plugin was Robo Gallery.

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem with the permalinks structure of a site wehre I did not install wp myself:
    http://www.villaggiosanmatteo.it/category/gargano/escursioni/
    The problem is the “category” in the permalink. Any Idea how to fix it?

    the permalink structure is /%category%/%postname%/
    the product permalink is activated by default with this theme (even if Woocommerce is not used )
    Any idea?
    Thanks a lot
    Silvio
